We are a group that is focused on creating new business models in music fashion and dance. Creating competing business models that are better for musicians, dancers, producers, music publishers, photographers, fashion designers is essential in the age of new media.

Welcome! Let's be very clear with each other! Are you a driven music-professional with a type-a personality constantly on the go and striving to make it big in the industry? Are you a fashionista with future-perfect taste looking to make a splash on the scene? Are you a budding DJ / rapper / producer who is ready to promote your label / EP / "phat beatz?" This group is probably not for you. Are you an average joe/jane with a day job who likes to make a little music on the side? Are you loo …

This group is about getting together to learn and practice Irish Session Tunes, and to listen to Irish Music. I find learning tunes at sessions to be impossible, and while it is enjoyable to learn and play music at home, it would be fun to get together with others to play occasionally. I started this group to see if there are others like me. To start, we are meeting once a month to play tunes at a fairly slow tempo. Because the goal is to learn tunes and to practice playing with others I'm gue …

This group is not more mine than yours. Anyone can organize a meet-up just email me and I'll have you as an assistant organizer or change a posted event to be a …

This is a periodic (hopefully weekly once in full swing) jazz jam. Tunes from traditional jazz canon and beyond. In a metro area so full of musicians, there are too few opportunities to jam regularly and informally. I also want people from this group to play gigs with each other, shed tunes together, and of course share with everyone what you've been working on. Although this group is geared at musicians, I hope to welcome all serious jazz fans out there who just like to listen and learn how t …

Did you know that Impressionism came about because of a circle of connected artists?  Or that Virginia Woolf was only one member of the Bloomsbury group?  Throughout time, creative folks have come together to make things.  In the 17th-19th centuries in France these gatherings happened in Salons often run by powerful women.  After NYC, Somerville has the most artists per capita.  It's time all of us creatively-inclined got together to exchange ideas and support.  That's why we created the Somervi …

Stories. They are the natural format of human thought and the natural expression of human language. Join us for workshops, open mics, featured performances and story slams. Formerly the Cambridge storytellers group, now organized by massmouth.com. Meet other storytellers and all those who enjoy the art of telling and listening to stories. We use no props, no notes, no costumes or music. Not poetry either, unless it is original and tells a story. Not a rant but a beginning, middle and end. There …

COLLISIONcollective (aka Cc) was founded in 2002 as an offshoot of the MIT student art group, ATat (Arts and Technology at tech), whose charter was to host events showcasing art incorporating technology. Formed by artists and technologists, the COLLISIONcollective is premised on the sometimes abrupt intersection between art and technology. Its practitioners are drawn to this synthesis as the epicenter of forward-looking cultural adaptation. COLLISIONcollective was formed to address several vital …

It is a group that is inclusive of all genres of creative writing. It aims at reviving the old tradition of writers' cafes where writers meet, discuss all trends of writing and where some of the most brightest ideas can accidently spark the creation of great art and writing works. The cafe mostly addresses the local writers but does not mind the presence, support and applications for membership from other creative bodies from other parts of massachusetts, USA and other parts of the world.

We welcome dancers, models, fashion designers, choreographers, film makers, producers, musicians, actors/actresses and anyone associated with dance, modeling, fashion design and music video production. We are particularly interested in cutting edge choreography, fashion, production, and new media.

I'd like to see if anyone in Boston is interested in getting together and singing Beatles songs with acoustic accompaniment. We would meet every 6 weeks or so, at a local pub, on a Saturday afternoon from 2-5. Beer optional, but it helps! I run a Beatles and Beer group in Providence and it's a lot of fun; looking to see if there is interest in Boston, since I spend time there as well. Let's get together and sing! Cheers, Jenn

**As of mid-February, 2013, we are closing to new members temporarily. The group has grown exponentially in the last two years and meetups are constantly full, so we're attempting to restructure to make it work better. Please check back if you are interested, and sorry for the inconvenience!** Love writing? Looking for an opportunity to creep inside your mind, find the little demon inside fast asleep at an old writing desk, and tickle him awake with a quill pen? Or perhaps you think electro shoc …

Boston is a great town for live comedy shows. Some offer free nights or group discounts. This meetup will be those who want to go and see it, as a group, and at a discount.

As I write this (30 May 2012), we're heading into summer, when everyone is planning vacations and otherwise looking for ways to relax and, especially, to have a good time.  What better way to have a great time than to listen to live music, dance, and meet new people? We have amazing musicians here in Cambridge and Somerville who play at terrific venues like Johnny D's, Atwood's Tavern, The Cantab, Ryles, Club Passim, The Burren, Toad, The Lizard Lounge, The Plough & Stars, Precinct, RADIO, Sally …

The new language of video is pervasive. It has become the medium for training, entertainment, social advocacy, promotion, and just plan diversion. Creating short (less than 10 minute) well crafted stories requires a small group effort that moves us from our reliance on the online world to face to face collaboration with like minded creative people. This meet up group will bring together small teams of creative individuals to work together to conceptualize, plan, execute and critique short video …

This group will meet to network, discuss and brainstorm ideas, projects and possibilities. Frans Johansson’s The Medici E …

Disclaimer: while I have no problem with gaming, this group is not about that. No location chosen yet but I have some ideas.This just basically an informal meetup, maybe start with about 30 minutes of mingling, followed possibly by an informal roundtable discussion/introduction where all attendees can introduce themselves and have the opportunity to give a description of their project, idea or vision they are launching or looking to launch, as well as discuss any resources they would recommend t …
